Haste Makes Waste
Okay, so I hasted, and thus, I wasted. We got a hard frost for two nights last week and I lost three, maybe four, of my tomato plants, my marigolds, and two other flower plants. Most of my garden is okay because they are all cool-weather preferring plants. At least the slugs didn't destroy the plants last week (maybe because they all froze to death!). The odd thing is, all the little tomato seedlings that started on their own are just fine and the larger store bought plants died. Hmmmm.
I wanted to make sure I didn't get my garden in late, so instead I got it in too early! Maybe some day I will get it in at just the right time. I should have known better living near Chicago, but the weather just seemed so nice!
